English isn't my native language, I'm sorry for the broken English.

If I select the Spam folder that is used by the Bogofilter
#mh/Claws Mail/Spam
and then use the menu  Tools > Filter all messages in folder  then
the .com spam mails are moved to #mh/Claws Mail/Spam/Junk .com .

Unimportant, but JFTR, then the mails are moved to Trash, neither to
the selected default folder #mh/Claws Mail/Spam, nor the the wanted
#mh/Claws Mail/Spam/Junk .com, resp. using the Tools menu does "work"
as described above too.

I searched the archive, before I sent my request ;). The above isn't my
thread, I didn't do this. With my thread (this one) I'm asking, if this
is a way to archive what I want to work automatically, instead of using
the Tools menu manually.

"Filtering rules are global. Messages received on an Account can be
filtered in 2 ways, automatically or manually. To have the messages
filtered automatically the option 'Filter messages on receiving' must
be checked on the 'Receive' tab in the Account Preferences."

Strange, since all filters for receiving mails, excepted of the Spam
filters do work as expected, anyway, I'll now checked it, resp.
"After receiving new mail [x] Update all local folders" now is checked.
